Trail Technicality

We have adopted the new OFATV trail rating to help riders decide where to ride based on their preferred riding style and experience. 

We are proud that the OFATV has leveraged RCATV’s trail technicality rating guide and has now launched OFATV Trail Rating on QuadON for all trails across Ontario.

Note: You may find RED Expert trail symbols on our trail system for a while while we replace them over time with the new ORANGE Difficult symbols.

IMportant:

All trails are at your own risk and risk of equipment damage. All trails are subject to periodic flooding and erosion, and are susceptible to regular weather and forest hazards. Never travel alone. Ensure someone knows the route and when to expect you home. Be prepared. Cellphone coverage not always available.
